Requirements

None.

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

passenger_server_name: www.example.com

The server name (used in the Nginx virtual host configuration).

passenger_app_env: production

The app environment passenger will load.

passenger_root: /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/phusion_passenger/locations.ini
passenger_ruby: /usr/bin/ruby

Values for passenger configuration directives inside nginx.conf. These defaults should generally work correctly, but if you build ruby on its own (as an example), the path to ruby may be different.

nginx_worker_connections: "768"
nginx_keepalive_timeout: "65"
